      Pros

      Great teammates, flexible hours, health benefits, 401K, awesome cause, motivating environment, high standards, clear expectations, you get to exercise at work!

      Cons

      It is a fundraising job so there is a requirement to perform on a daily and weekly basis and this can be stressful. It's a lot of information to learn and a short time to get it all down. It is entry-level canvassing job so the weather can be a difficult.

      Pros

      providing services and support to refugees meet their basic needs in new environments after suffering conflict and trauma. working with governments and civil society organizations to achieve cooperation.

      Cons

      disorganized, inefficient, and often run with incompetency, UNHCR is stingy with its partners and often achieves ineffective results through their work due to lack of clear indicators. their work is often rendered less effective due to donor's lack of understanding and implementing partners' personal needs and own internal lack of coordination.
